I was 18 when I met the love of my life. It was after a few encounters that I entered a temple with her. I wanted to thank God for having made me meet her. I had never asked and surely, had done nothing to deserve her. But it is like this in life sometimes, I thought, and accepted her into my life.
She was not the talkative-type which meant I did most of the talking. She would laugh her heart out for a silly joke I cracked and was that music or what! I had never realized that I could make anybody laugh so hard. Sometimes, I thought, it requires the help of somebody else to remind you about yourself and in the times to come I got to acknowledge a few more facets of my life that I did not know.
With the blessings of the Almighty we stepped out and made our way out of the temple and into the murky night. Life would change that day, for me, only I was not aware of it as yet. She began speaking and talked at length about her interests. Apparently, she was quite an artist- dancing, painting, calligraphy and the like were her interests which really came as a shock to me, since I knew she was a prodigy at math and science. I did not know another person of the same age group who knew the Maxwell’s equations better than she did. She had even mastered the Laplacian operator all by herself using which she had proven that it can be used to solve for Electric Potentials uniquely within a region which satisfies certain boundary conditions.
Shortly after that we parted deciding to meet the next day. On the way back home I came across another temple. This God, I had heard was real powerful one, so decided that I needed his blessings. I parked my sandals, washed my feet and entered with an empty cup.
When I came out she was standing there waiting for me. Apparently, she wanted to get the Mighty One’s blessing too, I thought. She saw me and came right up to me and said
“I have something to tell you”.
I only managed to get a puzzled look on my face. She slowly took my hands and told me-
” Somebody stole your sandals"
“Wait What? Oh no, No Way!”
It was gone indeed. Empty air adourned the place where my sandals once stood. I swore at him. I could even see him running at a distance. I swore some more and then some more till I realized nothing could bring my sandals back. She was laughing like it was some joke. It was some time before I saw the funny side of it and tried laughing along with her.
She proposed that I start working on some GPRS Enabled Sandal Tracking Technology. She even agreed to help me. With that I went home and began working. It took me 18 days and 18 hours to come up with a whole new collection of GPRS Enabled Sandal Tracking Technology based slippers and shoes. And yes she helped me with the design!
The end.
Note: This being a truth portal, I want to say that I have always tried to uphold the value upon which I have created this blog (To Tell The Truth i.e) and want to point out that I have really lost my slippers and I have not made it up just to throw in a joke. Sad but true!
